While the Easter baskets might have everyone enjoying some candy first thing in the morning, the food enjoyment does not end once the bunny hops away. From brunch to dinner, the holiday is filled with a variety of sweet treats. These easy Easter dessert recipes will come with a request for a second helping.

Certain images are classic at the Easter table. Bunnies, chicks and even sheep might have that dessert table looking more like a farm menagerie. Even with all the cuteness, people will happily pick-up their fork and enjoy.

Pillsbury Baking has a wide array of ideas. For example, this Easter cake idea transforms two round cakes into an adorable bunny. This idea does not require a Spring Baking Champion to master.

Even easier, consider some cupcakes with icing decorations and sprinkles. Wilton has a wide assortment of options. From little chicks to pastel sprinkles, even store bought cupcakes can get a seasonal upgrade.

For a little more fun, why not set up a cupcake bar where guests can create their own cupcake. From sprinkles to even some icing to make their own image, it could be a fun way to engage everyone around the table. Maybe there could even be a prize for the best design.

Given that PEEPS are often an iconic Easter treat, why not use those sugary marshmallow treats as decoration on a cake. Or, why not float a bunny on top of a hot chocolate or coffee. There are no shortage for PEEPS ideas.

To go a little outside of the norm, why not try an Easter dessert pizza with Jet-Puffed Bunnymallows. The bunny shaped marshmallows are the topping for sugar cookies shaped into a pizza. Whether people want a slice or prefer their own personal sized pizza, it could be a fun, easy way to think outside of the traditional dessert.

Lastly, for cooks who want to impress with flavor and creativity but want a more sophisticated approach, Icelandic Provisions has a recipe for Chocolate Orange Potsde Crème. Made in a blender using the Icelandic Provisions Skyr, this rich, creamy dessert is quite tempting but still feels like and bright. And, to make the younger guests smile, it can be served in a fun bowl or even have a little sugar décor placed on top.

These ideas are just few of the many easy Easter dessert recipes that can be served for the holiday. Even if that final dessert might not win a blue ribbon, the sentiment is what counts.
